As part of the Mentor Embedded team I’m excited to finally share that we’re partnering with AMD Embedded to provide open-source embedded Linux development for heterogeneous and multi-core processors from AMD. Last year in September AMD shared details about its embedded product roadmap; this provided a great deal of insight into the commitment and growing investment AMD is making into embedded systems … Read More

Mentor Graphics’ Embedded Software division has released a new version of its Automotive Technology Platform (ATP) for developing Linux-based in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems.
Embedded division general manager Glenn Perry notes that the new release has achieved GENIVI 5.0-compliance with leading IVI systems-on-chips (SoCs) such as Freescale’s i.MX6, Texas Instruments’ OMAP5 and Renesas’ Marzen … Read More

At the various shows I’ve been fortunate enough to attend this year sessions related the “The Yocto Project” seem to be of quite a bit of interest to people. Chris Hallinan (author of Embedded Linux Primer: A Practical Real-World Approach) has put together a few useful resources on the subject this year. As a public service I thought I’d try and consolidate them in one place,

With apologies to Shakespeare, let me start off by clarifying that we are referring to Free/Libre Open Source Software; about how it is changing the embedded landscape and more importantly the ideas on efficient ways to benefit from this constant stream of innovation.
Very few fields in technology have felt such an impact from open source movement as has embedded software design. The proliferation of … Read More

Well, tomorrow is the big day. ESC San Jose 2012 [now part of DESIGN West] runs for 3 days and looks set to be an excellent show for anyone interested in embedded systems software or hardware.
I recently outlined our plans for the Mentor Embedded booth, but we now have more details …
Our booth is set to be a hive of activity, with a continuous program of technical briefings in the theater and … Read More
